GAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,016, dated January 20, 1891.

Application filed November 6,1890- Serial No. 370,482. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY A. GREENE, a citizen of the United States, residingin the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful ID1- provcinent in Games, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing.

My invention consists of a game formed of a board with numbered circles thereon and rings which are to be spun on the board, whereby, when the spinning ceases, the rings may drop on the circles or outside of the same, thus providing an interesting game.

The figure represents a perspective view of a game embodying my invention.

Referring to the drawing, A designates a board which may be pastcboard, card-board, wood, or other suitable material sufliciently rigid so that it may lie flat on atable or other support. ()n the upper face of the board are printed or otherwise marked a series of differently-colored circles B, which are systematically disposed and numbered, in the present case, in decimals. At the corners of the board are spots 0, numbered 90; but it is evident that letters of the alphabet may be substituted for the several numbers.

, other circles, the aggregate of whose numbers count for the player; but the ring may drop on either of the corner-spots O or on a blank space of the board, the counting of which may be according to established rules. 'hile the circles shown are preferred, they may be substituted by squares or other geometric figures.

Having thus described my invention, what I I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

A game consisting of a board with numbered circles thereon, and spinnin -rings, the combination and operation being substan tially as described.
